Business and REAL ESTATE

Attorney Jeremy Guth is the practice leader for our Business and Real Estate Practice Area. 

BUSINESS LAW SERVICES:

We understand the risks, rewards and challenges that business owners face.  When your business needs a lawyer, we are here to help.  

Our firm provides business law services to business owners throughout Wisconsin, such as:

• Drafting corporate documents
• Succession planning
• Deferred compensation and employment agreements
• Real estate transactions
• Sales and acquisitions assistance
• Dispute resolution
• Board governance
• Tax planning

We can help coordinate your business ownership with your estate planning. Careful advanced planning is critical for a smooth transition of ownership and management after a business owner dies or retires.

We have decades of experience helping business owners design estate plans specifically tailored to their specific needs and goals. Estate and generation-skipping taxes can be a significant threat to continued family ownership and success of even the most successful businesses. Fortunately, careful advanced planning can dramatically reduce and in some cases eliminate estate taxes.

REAL ESTATE SERVICES: 

We can also help with a variety of real estate needs, such as:  

Sales & Acquisitions
Are you buying or selling a property?  Regardless of whether or not you are working with a realtor, it can be invaluable to have a lawyer prepare or at least review your real estate transaction documents and deeds.  

Title Issues and Closings
What happens when a closing is approaching and you learn a deceased relative is still on the title of the property?  We can help with clearing up title issues before a closing.  

Vacation Homes
Do you have a vacation property in your family?  Planning for the current generation and future generations should not be taken lightly.  We can provide a variety of options to facilitate shared use of a vacation home.  

Real Estate Transfers
We prepare deeds to transfer real estate to trusts, LLCs and others as needed.  

Businesses and Leases
We prepare leases and assist businesses with real estate transactions.
